It is, actually. At least, way easier compared to any other DPS class i've played. There's no positioning to worry about, so no cancelled casting, combo screwups or DPS loss while moving. Long-range CC, off the GCD too, with a very fast animation to boot. The biggest thing about BRD DPS is DOTs and knowing when and when not to use your CDS, basically. But every DPS has that aspect.


The most engaging role in this game is easily White Mage. Positioning, Cooldowns, MP management, Enmity management, debuffs, responsibility of the entire party, with a possible significant source of situational DPS to boot. You're among the top candidates for go-to blame if anyone in the party dies, right below "dumb warrior" and "stupid lag".
